BA-J/III Isaac Godard R. 4079
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Isaac Godard, a pensioner of Connecticut.
The data furnished herein regarding Isaac Godard are found in the papers on file in pension claim, R. 4079, based upon his service in that war.
Isaac Godard was born March 12, 1752, in Simsbury, Hartford County, Connecticut; the names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Simsbury, Connecticut, he enlisted about June 1, 1776, and served three months as private in Captain Samuel Hays' Connecticut company. He enlisted sometime in June 1778 and served three months as private in Captain Samuel Bates' Connecticut company, at Horseneck, Connecticut. He enlisted in October 1778 and served one month as private in Captain Ozias Pettibone's Connecticut company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 4, 1832, at which time he resided in Granby, which was formerly a part of Simsbury, Hartford County, Connecticut. He signed his name Isaac Godard.
The soldier died April 16, 1840 in Granby, Connecticut. He had lived there during his entire life.
Isaac Godard married sometime in April 1776, Rosanna Holcomb, the daughter of Joseph Holcomb; the name of her mother is not shown. Her

father died in Granby, Connecticut, sometime prior to May 1843. Isaac Godard and said Rosanna were married by Judah Holcomb, a Justice of the Peace for Hartford County, Connecticut; no relationship to the family of Rosanna Holcomb was stated. In 1843, soldier's widow, Rosanna Godard gave her age as ninety years, but did not state the date of her birth; the date of her death is not shown.
Isaac Godard and his wife, Rosanna, reared a large family of children; the name of only one was designated, that of Isaac Godard, Junior, who was deceased in 1852. In 1852, Linus Goddard (as he signed his name), the son of said Isaac Godard, Jr., resided in Granby, Connecticut; he referred then to other grandchildren and children of Isaac Godard, the Revolutionary War soldier.
In 1843, John Godard, a resident of Granby, Connecticut, then aged eighty-three years, stated that he was present at the marriage of Isaac Godard and Rosanna, his wife, but did not state any relationship between them.
support In 1832, Joseph Holcomb, a resident of Peru, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, stated that he served on a tour with Isaac Godard during the Revolutionary War. Nathan Goddard and Austin Goddard, as they signed their name, both of Granby, Connecticut, in 1832, made affidavits in behalf of the soldier's claim for pension. In 1843, Joel C. Holcomb was Judge of the Probate Court for Granby, Connecticut, and Arion B. Holcomb was Clerk of that same Court. No relationship between these persons and the family of Isaac Godard and his wife, Rosanna, was stated.
In 1852, A. B. Holcomb and M. Ellen Holcomb witnessed the signature of soldier's grandson, Linus Goddard, referred to above.
Very truly yours,

Sir.
The papers in the case of Rosanna Goddard widow of Isaac Goddard claiming a pension un- der the Act of 4 th July '36 have been examined and placed on file In the absence of any public Records of the marriage the next best evi- dence is the family record which should be produced if in existence It is only when satisfactory reasons are assigned for the absence of the evidence of one or other of the above descriptions that perjury can be had to parole testimony which from the lapse of time must of necessity be liable to error

In the case of Rosanna Goddard the testimony is not sufficient to establish the alleged date of the marriage with the requisite certainty to bring her case within the act of 4 July 36- She has not as yet furnished a statement as the rules require of the service of her husband after their marriage- She should state how long after her marriage, her husband was called into service- where he served- How long he was absent &c

In reply to your request in the case of Rosanna Goddard, I have to remark that it is no answer to the demand made upon her by my letter of 26 June with which she is again required to comply.
Your suggestions of what would or would not be required of her deserve no countenance from the rules.

Hon. S. M.
In regard to the application of Rosanna L. Edwards, Widow of Isaac Edwards I find it impossible to show by any direct positive testimony the precise day of their marriage, as it appears there is no person now living who was present at their wedding. Her application is grounded upon the 3rd Section of the act of July 4, '36, & by a subsequent act by which last act, a widow must be living at the time of her husband's service after the marriage — Isaac Edwards, whose widow she is, Rosanna now is, was a soldier private in the Army of the Revolution & was a pensioner under the act of June 7, 1832 on the roll of the Continental Army, and the evidence of his services, and she supposes in the Pension Office — and, as she concludes, it would not be required to prove his service as a again, which, at this late day she would be wholly unable to do. I have not all the Pension Laws at hand but suppose that all the facts that would be required would be to show that the husband's service was as much as six months, and that they were married before the first of January 1794 — and as I suppose the proof already furnished would be sufficient to establish the facts of their marriage prior to that date, to wit, Jan'y 1, 1794, I concluded there would be no difficulty in her case — I make these suggestions, and Very Respectfully Request that you have mercy on the Re-examine, and shall be happy to receive such communication from the Department in relation to this case, as the Department may deem proper.
I am Sir, Very Respectfully your most obed Servt
